The 88 pages that link to Galileo Galilei, each with the reason it gives.

• Pope Urban VIIIRelated: Urban’s earlier support for Galileo gave way to a trial authorized during his papacy.

• Principle of relativityRelated: His ship thought experiment illustrated why uniform motion is not detectable by mechanical experiments alone.

• Robert BellarmineRelated: Bellarmine questioned Galileo about heliocentrism and delivered the 1616 injunction against teaching it as fact.

• Alexandre KoyréRelated: Koyré made Galileo a central figure in his account of the birth of modern science.

• Copernican systemRelated: His observations of Venus and Jupiter supplied evidence compatible with a moving Earth.

• House of MediciRelated: Medici court appointments and dedications gave Galileo influential support and a powerful audience.

• Paul FeyerabendRelated: Feyerabend treated Galileo’s tactics as evidence that rule-breaking can advance science.

• ScienceRelated: His work became a landmark in the use of measurement and experiment to challenge established accounts.

• Christopher ClaviusRelated: Clavius and Galileo belonged to different generations of Catholic astronomers confronting changing astronomical evidence.

• Standard gravityRelated: His work on falling motion helped distinguish measured acceleration from conventional reference values.

• Classical physicsRelated: His studies of falling bodies and inertia helped prepare the way for Newtonian mechanics.

• Torricelli's lawRelated: Torricelli extended ideas from Galileo's mechanics to the speed of draining fluid.

• Free particleRelated: His account of inertia helped prepare the classical idea of force-free motion.

• Jean BuridanRelated: Later histories of mechanics compare Galileo’s motion concepts with medieval impetus theories.

• Astronomical instrumentationRelated: Galileo's telescope observations established instruments as tools for discovering celestial phenomena.

• SelenographyRelated: His observations helped establish that lunar features include mountains and craters.

• Solar telescopeRelated: His telescopic sunspot observations helped establish systematic study of the solar disk.

• Square–cube lawRelated: His Two New Sciences discusses how structural strength changes with size.

• Visible-light astronomyRelated: His telescopic observations of the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus transformed optical astronomy.

• 17th centuryRelated: His trial and scientific work reflect changing ideas about evidence and authority.

• History of classical mechanicsRelated: His studies of falling bodies and inertia supplied key foundations for Newtonian mechanics.

• History of physicsRelated: His investigations helped establish experiment and mathematics as tools for studying motion.

• Discovery and exploration of the Solar SystemRelated: His observations of Venus and Jupiter provided visible evidence against a strictly Earth-centered cosmos.

• History of the telescopeRelated: His 1609–1610 observations established the telescope as an astronomical instrument.

• Timeline of meteorologyRelated: Temperature measurement became one of the foundations of systematic weather observation.

• Timeline of microscope technologyRelated: He built an early microscope, which he called an occhiolino, around 1624.
